MY HEART


What happened to the sunshine
I was counting on
There every day
Now I wake up and it’s gone

Where’s the silver lining
That’s always been there
The flowers preening brightly
Their scent upon the air

What’s happened to my world
I’m in a state of dismay
It all looks formidable and gray...
You took the splendor with you 
When you went away

~~~*Chorus*~~~
When you left
You took my heart
Don’t you know
To survive
It’s the most important part
Don’t need a brain
Don’t have to be smart
To know that I am damaged
Without you
My heart
~~*~~

The sun struggles with me
Fighting to shine through
For now a faded rainbow
No brilliance to the hues

The silver lining’s hazy
But I haven’t given up 
Half full, not half empty
It will have to be enough

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~
Cause when you left
You took my heart
Don’t you know
To survive
It’s the most important part
Don’t need a brain
Don’t have to be smart
To know that I am damaged
Without you
My heart
~~*~~

A bird singing on my window ledge
I smile and think of you 
I smell the honeysuckle
See the sparkling dew

I know there is rebirth
When those we love must die
And if you had a choice my love
You’d be here by my side

~~~*Chorus*~~~
When you left
You took my heart
Don’t you know
To survive
It’s the most important part
Don’t need a brain
Don’t have to be smart
To know that I am damaged
Without you
My heart
~~*~~
